custom facter facts is calling old powershell.exe

[rismoney]

My understanding is facter is not using the https://github.com/puppetlabs/ruby-pwsh gem. It is not possible to control facters external fact execution using powershell vs pwsh. So what I am requesting, is the ability to possible control this, perhaps through facter.conf configuration. Also the benefits of using this gem, is that you drastically improve performance by avoiding instantiation of powershell processes.

@rismoney thank you for the enhancement, could you break things down a bit more on what you mean by the differences of execution between powershell and ruby-pwsh?

[rismoney]

if you launch powershell via a fact, you can't control usage of pwsh or powershell (versions)

Also the gem usage prevents multiple instances of powershell, and you take advantage of runspaces automatically,
